Testimonials

“After taking the business planning course, I’m now aware of all the food codes, labels, details and budget that go into a business plan. I feel more confident when I talk to investors or other restaurant experts in the industry. It has also helped me to be 100% focused.”

Carlos Rosas, Barrio

“The 14 week business planning class is a deep dive into creating a solid plan for my new venture, Ecstatic Dance University. As a 6 year veteran business, I have experienced the loneliness and frustration of trying to do it all on my own without a map. The business planning class is a fantastic way to surround myself with a peer group of amazing people who share similar challenges and the same desire as I do — to be a successful entrepreneur.”

Donna Carroll, Ecstatic Dance University

“The social media marketing class with Claudio taught me so much about the possibilities of reaching a larger audience with the right online strategy. I’ve begun to put into practices some of the things I’ve learned in the class, and have already increased my Facebook page ‘likes’ by 25% and counting!”
